About
Full-stack engineer with experience shipping production features, improving platform quality, and collaborating across product, design, and engineering.
Background includes startup delivery, NLP research with BERT/RoBERTa pipelines, and a strong bias toward clean architecture and measurable outcomes.
I started programming through competitive coding, and that foundation still shapes how I approach algorithmic problem-solving.
Skills
Career Journey
Built core software and engineering foundations.
Developed a demo for the Voice of Albania app with social authentication and mapping integrations.
Defended MSc thesis on modified BERT/RoBERTa models and evaluation pipelines for NLP.
Built a scalable React operations platform in an agile remote team.
Built AI-powered product features and core platform capabilities.
Led product direction, team growth, technical decision-making, and DevOps/CI/CD delivery practices at a German startup.
Projects
Problem: Websites needed to meet accessibility guidelines under EU law.
What I did: Led platform development for AI-assisted remediation guidance and an embeddable accessibility widget.
Impact: Enabled accessibility issue detection and AI-generation of reliable fixes.
Problem: NLP experiments required repeatable training and benchmark evaluation in crowdsourced datasets.
What I did: Built reusable BERT/RoBERTa training and evaluation pipelines.
Impact: Produced consistent benchmarks and thesis-ready reproducibility.
Problem: Design-to-code output quality and generation speed were limiting delivery.
What I did: Built generation enhancements and delivered multi-language outputs as managed APIs on GCP.
Impact: Improved output quality and shortened generation cycles for production releases.
Problem: Multi-site MLS products needed consistent search and verified-agent flows.
What I did: Led frontend delivery and hands-on implementation of core features, and collaborated on GraphQL-based search and verification workflows.
Impact: Unified discovery experience across sister real-estate products.
Problem: Recreate nostalgic gameplay in a modern desktop implementation.
What I did: Built a JavaFX fan-made episode with Flappy Bird style pacing.
Impact: Shipped a playable retro game demo with responsive controls.
Problem: Emergency dispatch needed shortest-route simulation on grid maps.
What I did: Built a Swift prototype with grid-based routing and path logic.
Impact: Delivered clear route outputs for emergency-response scenarios.
